Harbhajan Singh who is not part of the Indian team since the disastrous England tour for India couldn't make a strong comeback even in the first class matches . But as a vice captain of Mumbai Indians he has to play a big supportive role in their campaign.

Rohit Sharma who did not play in the recent Aussie tour is the highest paid player in the team but made a strong 70 runs in the Pakistan match at the Asia cup. So he is definetly a player to be read by the Indian selectors.

Ambati Rayudu the Hyderabad wicket Keeper made the team in the season 2010 . He made his selection a positive who at times provided partnership for the team and was behind the stumps guarding the wicket .

Sachin Tendulkar captain of Mumbai Indians recently made his Ton of Tons which would ease him to play aggressive in this format . He had a good season of IPL 10 & 11 with the bat.

Andrew Symonds who retired the from all forms of cricket paved way for Richard Levis-the fastest T20 centurion and was his replacement .
